The staff at LRGH have healed me many times over the years.
Never had an issue with anyone at this hospital. They took very good care of me and they were super nice!
They misdiagnosed my daughter. Ended up having to take her to Dartmouth. I can tell them something is wrong and the first thing they want to do is give me pain killers even when I directly express that I'm not in pain. If you care about your health and your families health don't go here.
The only saving grace this place has is the staff is very kind and polite most of the time.
Over the past few years I've had knee surgery, MRI's, lab work, and recently a colonoscopy. Everyone from the front desk, staff, nurses and doctors have been professional and courteous. I found the areas I went through to be clean.
Where do I begin? The ER, while its doing its "best" to keep up, fails. It leaves patients unattended for hours while 1 doctor in the entire ER helps 15+ rooms. The nurses are doing their best. The facility in the ER department is dirty and OLD. It looks like something from an old TV show. Dirty floors and old uncomfortable beds.
The time it takes you to get a hospital bill is 6+ months, by the time you receive it you forgot you had even been there.
The Hospital itself is trying to keep a float in the busy times. While the main hospital is nicely set up and the staff are great and helpful, the services fall short.
I took my health else where after my surgery because I felt I would get worse not better!
I would rather go to Concord Hospital, risk the drive while in pain and risk my safety than go back to LRGH!
That is why I give this Hospital and its affiliates 1/5 stars.
I've heard from many people if they were dying outside of LRGH they would ask to be taken elsewhere. From the reviews it looks like folks agree. Something must be done. Healthcare is screwed up enough as it is without having to deal with more headaches. I just read a "letter to the editor" today in the Laconia Free Sun paper (8-18-17) which stated they cannot do anything to treat alcoholism. They turn people away. Seriously? This place needs to be investigated.

I went to the ER twice in the last couple of weeks as I became highly allergic to mosquitos. Both times I had to my primary care in DE to help me long distance. The first time at the ER, went with an eye shut swollen. Waited to hour to see a doctor for 1 min (timed by my husband) who prescribed Benadryl, which I was already taken and had not help.
The second time I went in with 12 days old an underarm infection for which my PCP had prescribed adequately but I was one of those cases for which it did not worked. Again after a long wait, this time saw a nurse practitioner who prescribed Bactrim again knowing that I just finished ineffectively 10 day of Bactrim. Ended up at Mass general..
Please avoid this place!!!!!!
I wanna personally thank Dr. Daniel H. Kallmerten who saw me when I came into the Lakes Region General Hosipital for care. At the time I could barely walk and through his service I have recovered back to normal health. I do not take this for granted and I am extremely grateful. Keep up the good work.
Every time I've been in the hospital I have been cared for by friendly professional people. Food is good as well.
I had surgery here in May. The staff from my arrival to when I was discharged 3 days later were all wonderful and very responsive to all my needs. I cannot complain about anything during my stay.
I've had 4 ER experiences at this hospital and I couldn't be more satisfied. The most recent was Tuesday, 5/16/2017 for an appendicitis. They were professional and efficient and showed compassion. They got me scheduled for surgery the same day and the procedure went perfectly. The overnight stay was as comfortable as one could expect with a caring and efficient staff. This was the second surgery in the last thirteen months at LRGH and I feel fortunate to have such a facility so close to where I live. Thank you LRGH!
